    Technically, sure, but the DOJ is overseen by the AG, who is appointed by the President. That ‘balance’ created in 1870 is not well checked by our system.

        I agreed that you’re technically correct. Just like POTUS technically has no authority over SCOTUS, but some presidents get to appoint more justices than others.

        You’re saying there’s a system. I’m agreeing and saying the system is flawed.
